    Ok so I have a mini 9 when I boot from SSD I get a message that says " Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys" you can attemt to repair and so on by entering disc when I enter original windows xp disc and get to my partion it looks like this----partition 1 7287 mb (7287 free) and unpartitioned space 39 mb. so im guessing it is not recognizing SSD.... but when I go to boot menu and look there is a + sign by hard drive and it says STEC PATA 8GB-(PM)... so not sure if it just needs drives and if so could you point me in the right direction anything else to try I will... Thanks Joseph

    If you have a netbook and XP, you'll need to slipstream a Service Pack (2 is less of a resources drain than 3) and the Dell chipset drivers. nLite is probably your best bet as an 8GB SSD is pretty small (and likely, very slow).

    The Dell forums may have some useful specifics for you.
